Definitive Contract FA825025C0015

Applied Systems Engineering Inc. (ASE), a small business manufacturer based in Benbrook, Texas, was awarded a $491.2K firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex to repair traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier units (NSN 5840-01-659-4499) for the Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) system. The contract, awarded on July 21, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 20, 2026, requires comprehensive test, teardown, and evaluation services followed by repair work to restore four radar transmitter amplifiers to like-new, serviceable condition. This was a sole-source procurement with no set-aside designation, as ASE is the original equipment manufacturer and holds proprietary technical data and data rights for these components, making it the only qualified contractor capable of performing the specialized repair work. The work will be performed at ASE's facility in Benbrook, Texas, and includes visual, mechanical, and electrical testing with detailed reporting to the Procurement Contracting Officer and Defense Contract Management Agency.

This award leverages ASE's existing $7M five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, which supports repair services for the JTE, Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR), and Mini-MUTES defense programs. ASE's expertise in sophisticated electronic components and defense electronics maintenance, combined with its established relationships with major defense contractors including BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, and Booz Allen Hamilton, positions the company as a critical provider for Air Force Materiel Command sustainment requirements. The contract supports the Air Force's broader mission of maintaining operational readiness for threat emulation and radar testing systems essential to military training and evaluation capabilities.
